Nordic Innovation House in New York will offically open with an event 20 September.

Building on the success of the Nordic Innovation House in Silicon Valley, government agencies from all the five Nordic countries have joined forces to open the soft landing incubator Nordic Innovation House in New York City.

Secretary General of the Nordic Council of Ministers, Dagfinn Høybråten, will officially open the house at an event 20 September. Further details will follow when the event programme is finalised.

By providing a co-working office space and access to legal advice and help with accounting, tax and work permits, the Nordic Innovation House in New York City is an attempt to give the most promising Nordic companies a soft landing on the US east coast. The startup ecosystem here is somewhat different than in Silicon Valley, and the incubator will give opportunities for a more diverse group of Nordic startups.
